In 17th century Salem, living conditions were marked by a harsh, agrarian lifestyle. Most families lived in simple wooden homes, often with thatched roofs, and relied on farming, fishing, and trade for sustenance. The community faced challenges such as limited medical knowledge, harsh winters, and the constant threat of conflict with Indigenous peoples. Social structures were rigid, with a strong emphasis on Puritan religious beliefs that shaped daily life and governance.
